Hair Thinning & Hair Loss in Wayzata, MN
Noticing a wider part, a thinner ponytail or more hair in your brush? Thinning hair is common for both women and men, and it can change how you feel when you look in the mirror. At evoyouthful in Wayzata, Elizabeth Vogstrom, PA-C, takes a whole-person approach. We look at what may be contributing to your thinning and build a personalized plan that supports a healthier scalp and fuller-looking hair.
Why Hair Thins
Hair thinning usually has more than one cause. Common contributors include:
- Hormone changes, including perimenopause, menopause and lower testosterone
- Genetics and family history
- Stress, illness or major life events
- Postpartum changes
- Nutrition and nutrient levels
- Natural aging, as hair follicles become less active over time
Sudden or patchy hair loss can have medical causes. If that's the case, we'll recommend you see your primary care provider or a dermatologist as the right next step.
Our Approach
Consultation: We talk through your history, your goals and what you're noticing.
The bigger picture: Because hormones and overall wellness can play a role, we may recommend a hormone or lab evaluation where appropriate.
A personalized plan: Your plan may combine in-office scalp applications with wellness and hormone support.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes hair thinning in women?
Hair thinning in women is often linked to hormone changes such as perimenopause, menopause or postpartum shifts, along with genetics, stress and nutrition. A consultation helps identify what may be contributing in your case.
What causes hair thinning in men?
In men, thinning is often related to genetics and hormones, including changes in testosterone. Stress, nutrition and overall health can also play a role.
Can hormones cause hair loss?
Yes. Changes in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid hormones can all affect hair. When hormones play a role, supporting hormone balance can be an important part of your plan.
When should I see someone about thinning hair?
It's best to start early, when you first notice thinning. Non-surgical options work best on thinning hair rather than areas that are already completely bald.
evoyouthful in Wayzata welcomes patients from Minnetonka, Plymouth, Orono, Excelsior and the Twin Cities west metro.
